First Term (2018-2019)
Introduction

Programming logic is a fundamental construct that is applied to computer

science in a variety of comprehensive ways. Basic computer develops ways to
deal with numbers and logical states, applying specific operators that lead to
precise results. In this Unit we are introducing computing and Computer
Science to the younger audience using the Scratch programming environment.

Task
Design a Scratch Project to develop your programming logic to create a useful
product.

You need to identify a topic and create a successful solution/product.

E.g. Creating a game such as Pinball, Basket ball, Maze, Puzzle games, design
a calculator or a logo/motto etc.

A short note about Design Folder:

As you progress through the different stages of the design cycle, all relevant
activities and outcomes should be recorded, and dated, in the design folder.
The design folder is a compilation of evidence that accompanies the final
product/solution for a unit of work. You should formally record the results of
your research, various plans and designs and the evaluation of your finished
products/solutions in the design folder.

Criteria for success:

Research on various type and styles of existing games to create your
own logic and develop a new game.
Create several Logical designs before finalizing your ideas to make the
final solution.
Make the solution.
Document the entire process in your design folder.
Your product /solution will be submitted in electronic form along with
the design folder to be rewarded with the final level by the teacher.
